Spooky Pixel Hero is Game of the Day! Plus More News

Hello, AppSir Games fans!

It’s me, Darius—The Dev. From now on, I’ll be writing blogs here from time to time. Think of it as a Dev Diary of sorts.

I’ll be more honest here, and no, these posts won’t be canon to the AppSir Games Universe lore. These are just my thoughts and updates on what’s been going on.

Recently, I released Spooky Pixel Hero to great acclaim on the App Store. It’s a pixel art indie horror game with meta-horror elements, as always, but it’s also the prequel to the entire AppSir Games Universe. I’ve wanted to tell this story for years. I had been hyping it up as Project DERE Zero on the AppSir Games Discord, and only last year did I manage to sort my life out enough to finally make this project a reality.

Surprise! It’s been featured on the front page of the App Store multiple times. Banner features. New Games We Love. They even named it Game of the Day a few times in several regions, and you can read their awesome article about the game here. I’m proud of it, and honestly, Spooky Pixel Hero is one of the best stories I’ve ever conceptualized. It really anchors the plot points of the AppSir story and explains why the Dev is the way he is in the narratives of the sequels.

I also created another game recently that’s been getting some success as well, but that’s a story for another time.

Thank you, everyone! Until next time!

Limited Run Games is Releasing a Physical Edition of PHOBOS DERE .GB

 

Available for a limited time only, fans of AppSir Games and retro game collectors can snag themselves a physical copy of one of AppSir's most surreal retro game releases: PHOBOS DERE .GB.

For only $45, fans and collectors will receive an authentic Game Boy cartridge, a size-accurate retro box, and an instruction booklet. Preorders end on September 25, and there will be no more chances to obtain this game firsthand after that, hence the publisher's name "Limited Run". Here is the link to pre-order the game.

 

PHOBOS DERE .GB, along with PRIMA DERE ZX, and PROTO DERE .NES are prequels to AppSir's more modern games. They are all authentically retro games that could work on original hardware. While their stories are intertwined, the narratives told in the games are stand-alone, and people can enjoy any AppSir game without knowledge of other games in the series. For many, the most intriguing aspect of AppSir Games is its uniqueness and the Lynchian aspects of PHOBOS DERE .GB will provide future owners of the cursed Game Boy cartridge with an experience they won't forget.
